The San Francisco 49ers are heading to Super Bowl LVIII after winning an absolute thriller in the NFC Championship Game, 34-31, on Sunday night. 

The Niners will meet the Kansas City Chiefs, who defeated the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship Game, in Las Vegas at Allegiant Stadium on Feb. 11. 

This game didn’t look like much after the first half, where the Lions completely dominated a 49ers team that looked like a shell of itself.

On the very first drive, quarterback Jared Goff executed a trick play Detroit as ran often, as he faked a handoff to his running back before flipping it to speedy wide receiver Jameson Williams. He made a few 49ers defenders miss and shook another tackle before running into the end zone from 42 yards out. 

The Lions only needed four plays to get seven points on the board, setting the tone head coach Dan Campbell certainly wanted on the road. 

San Fran would miss a field goal on their first drive, and Goff used that momentum to get another one on the board. This time, David Montgomery busted into the end zone from one yard out to quickly make it 14-0 in the first quarter.

The 49ers would respond, though, and who else but Christian McCaffrey scoring from two yards out to get on the board.
